No Room For Squares 01/07/15

NO ROOM FOR SQUARES-JAZZORIZIT-SESSION 86, WITH VINTAGE VINYL, ON THE WARMEST DAY OF THE YEAR, AT MILK, READING-1/7/15. LISTEN TO THE EVENING IN TWO PARTS ON MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN.
  WELL PRETTY MUCH THE MOST VARIED SESSION TO DATE. I NEVER REALLY PLAN WHAT TO PLAY, AND QUITE A LOT OF WHAT WENT ON WAS REQUESTED BY ATTENDEES GOING THROUGH MY RATHER LOT OF BOXES. I WAS ASKED TO PLAY SOME PEGGY LEE TO START, AND OUT OF THAT THOUGH I WOULD PLAY THE “WARMUP” SET-PART 1- OF NOTHING BUT JAZZ FEMALE VOCALISTS, WHICH SUITED THE SUMMER VIBE. I BRIDGED THE FIRST/SECOND SECTIONS WITH A GREAT SUNSHINE TUNE, AND PLAYED A FEW FROM THE 50’S JAZZ ON A SUMMERS SOUNDTRACK. ORNETTE, BLESS HIM, HAD TUNES CHOSEN AT RANDOM, INCLUDING A LATER  “DANCY” ONE. HERBIE/CHICK GOT ON AS I AM OFF TO SEE THEM NEXT WEEK. I WAS THEN ASKED FOR SOME BLUES/SWING, AND PLAYED AN INTERESTING ONE FROM 1932, REEFER MAN. GLASTONBURY GOT A LOOK IN WITH BACHARACH AND WELLER. THE LONG TUNE WAS WICHITA, WHICH REALLY SUITED THE VIBE. MORE SWING/R AND B TOWARDS THE END, AND A FEW “MORE RECENT” TO FINISH. PLUS NO CHAT FROM ME, A BONUS. ENJOY-Jim
